I decided to make this recipe and substitute applesauce for half the butter. I've never used this substitution before and against all advice on the web stating that it may not "turn out" in cookies, but is better used in cakes/breads/muffins, I decided to give it a whirl. The dough was too sticky to roll by hand, but I was able to plop it onto the pan with a spoon into globs. They turned out looking like 'normal' cookies, but were very soft and stayed completely soft and mallable. The core taste of just how yummy a sugar cookie this is, is there. The more I eat them, the more I like them. In a way it's like eating sugar cookie dough; they're that soft. For those that love raw dough, I would recommend what I did. Otherwise, I can't wait to try this recipe using all butter so I can get a little crunch to the edges. GREAT taste and not the disaster I half expected!
